Carrick era ends at Manchester United as problems persist

Manchester United have parted ways with Michael Carrick. With the former midfielder's dismissal, the club has changed head coach mid-season for the third time in three years. Ruben Amorim and Erik ten Hag had also experienced this situation before.

The report states that responsibility does not rest solely with those on the pitch. Director of football Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada have bought time to build a structured plan for finding a successor.

Upper management, including the club's partners Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family, has been under scrutiny since the defeat to Bournemouth at the end of October.

Players are no longer being protected either. After the Champions League defeat to Como, a group of players, reportedly led by captain Bruno Fernandes, is said to have openly opposed the coaching staff.
